What is going on in Minnesota? If anyone needed yet another example that elections have consequences, here it is. The sheer absurdity of Representative Kozlowski’s statement is a testament to how far modern rhetoric has drifted from reason, evidence, and even the most basic understanding of language. To suggest that preserving women’s sports for biological women constitutes “genocide” is not just an exaggeration—it is an insult to history, to logic, and to every individual who has ever suffered under the real horrors of genocide. If words are to have any meaning at all, then genocide—the deliberate extermination of an entire group of people—cannot be applied to a policy that simply maintains fair competition in sports. The absurdity is so glaring that one wonders if the word has any boundaries left at all.
Moreover, to frame this debate as an issue of “bullying” rather than fairness is a textbook example of how emotion has replaced reason in modern discourse. Women’s sports exist for a reason. That reason is not hatred. It is not exclusion. It is the simple biological reality that men—on average—have greater strength, speed, and endurance due to physiological differences that begin in the womb and manifest throughout life. The idea that recognizing these fundamental biological differences is a form of oppression is itself a remarkable display of intellectual dishonesty.
It is particularly ironic that this push for inclusivity is coming at the direct expense of the very group—biological women—that Title IX was designed to protect. Women’s sports were not created to “erase” anyone; they were created so that women could compete fairly among their peers, without having to overcome the innate physical advantages of male athletes. To pretend that a male competing against a female does not create an unfair playing field is to deny what is observable in every area of life, from weightlifting to sprinting to combat sports.
And yet, we are told that any effort to uphold fairness is an act of “erasure” or “fear-mongering.” But the real question is: who is truly being erased? It is not transgender athletes who are losing scholarships, opportunities, or podium spots. It is not biological males who are facing increased risks of injury in sports like rugby or swimming. The real erasure happening here is the erasure of women’s rights to fair competition, safety, and dignity. It really is that simple.
If there is an agenda of division here, it is not being pushed by those who simply wish to preserve women’s sports for women. It is being pushed by those who deliberately redefine words, twist reality, and demonize anyone who dares to acknowledge objective truth. Fairness is not oppression, and protecting the integrity of women’s sports is not “bullying.” It is common sense—something that, in today’s political climate, seems to be in dangerously short supply.
